The Miami County Community Foundation (MCCF) will be offering three granting opportunities in 2013 with deadlines in the spring, summer and fall.

This is the 6th annual granting cycle of the Boomerang Sisterhood. The Sisterhood is a giving circle of Miami County women, who pool their resources to support organizations and programs in the Miami County area. The application deadline is Tuesday, May 28 and awards are typically $500 to $1,000.

Impact Grants are for organizations seeking funds to support a large project in the range of $10,000. This grant is designed to support organizations that are planning a new project or program, or looking to expand their services. Charitable organizations that are interested in applying for an Impact Grant must first submit a Letter of Intent and one page project summary to the Community Foundation by June 3, 2013. The grant committee of the Community Foundation will review all Letters of Intent and ask select organizations to complete a grant application for the project.

Also available are Community Support Grants which support organizations seeking grants in the range of several hundred to a few thousand dollars. These grants are designed to be awarded to several organizations and provide support throughout the community. The deadline for the Community Support Grant application is October 7, 2013,

According to Patrick Close, Director of Development for the MCCF, “along with the Boomerang Sisterhood, this a combination of the way grant funds have been distributed in the past. In 2012, the Community Foundation made one large Impact Grant rather than many smaller grants. Large grants are a great way to make a difference in the community, but we felt that we also needed to support smaller projects and organizations that may not qualify for Impact Grants. Now we will do both.”
